Setting up guest access on your Schlage Encode Plus lock allows you to grant temporary or permanent access to visitors, family members, or service providers. This feature enhances security and convenience, letting you control who enters your property and when. Follow this step-by-step guide to configure guest access efficiently.

Prerequisites

  • A compatible smartphone with the Schlage Home app installed.
  • Your Schlage Encode Plus lock installed and connected to Wi-Fi.
  • Properly created Schlage account and app login credentials.
  • Access to the lock’s administrative controls.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Guest Access

1. Open the Schlage Home App

Launch the Schlage Home app on your smartphone and log in with your credentials. Ensure your lock is online and connected.

2. Select Your Lock

From the main dashboard, tap on your Schlage Encode Plus lock to access its settings and management options.

3. Access Guest Management

Navigate to the “Guest Access” or “Manage Users” section within the lock settings. This area allows you to create, modify, or delete guest keys.

4. Add a New Guest

Tap on “Add Guest” or “Create New User.” Enter the guest’s name and specify the access type:

  • Temporary Access: Set an expiration date and time.
  • Permanent Access: Grant ongoing access until revoked.

5. Generate and Send the Guest Key

The app will generate a unique digital key or code. Send this to your guest via email, text, or other messaging platforms. They will use this key to unlock the door during their authorized period.

6. Confirm Guest Access

Verify that the guest has received the key and can successfully unlock the door. You can monitor access logs within the app to track entries and exits.

Managing and Revoking Guest Access

To revoke or modify guest access, revisit the guest management section in the app. Select the guest’s profile and choose to deactivate, delete, or extend their access as needed.

Tips for Secure Guest Access

  • Set expiration dates for temporary keys to prevent lingering access.
  • Use unique, randomly generated codes for each guest.
  • Regularly review access logs for unauthorized entries.
  • Disable or delete guest access once it is no longer needed.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage guest access on your Schlage Encode Plus lock, ensuring security and convenience for all users.
